I see there is a big flap on this morning regarding breast implants.
Medical authorities in France are expected to tell 30,000 women with a certain type of breast implant to have them removed. There is a fear,this will lead to a mass outbreak of divorce and affairs.
The fake Bristol Cities are filled with an unapproved gel and have been linked to the death of a French woman who died from a rare form of cancer called anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL).
Some 50,000 British women are believed to have the implants.
But the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said there is no evidence to support removal of the implants, manufactured by Poly Implant Prosthese (PIP).
"The MHRA has reviewed available evidence for association of cancers for women with breast implants in consultation with the relevant UK professional bodies for breast surgery and surgical oncology and has concluded that there is insufficient evidence to indicate any association with cancer.
"Additionally, the MHRA worked with the cancer registry and could find no evidence for any association.
This is something a lot of women won't want to get off their chest.
